Why does Lenovo Solution Center place an icon on my Windows task bar?

The Lenovo Solution Center icon is intended to alert you to conditions for which your attention is required or recommended. If you have permitted Lenovo Solution Center to sync with Lenovo, it will also alert you to additional relevant system information from additional Lenovo applications such as Message Center Plus and SimpleTap. Its purpose is to centralize alerts in one location for a better experience.
